Making It Work
Ep.6 - Getting Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
“My comfort zone is like a little bubble around me, and I've pushed it in different directions and made it bigger and bigger until these objectives that seemed totally crazy eventually fall within the realm of the possible.” - Alex Honnold
In this episode, we wanted to talk about our comfort zones and how they can become stumbling blocks. We learn a bit about world record-setting free climber Alex Honnold, the science behind finding your proper "zone of arousal", also know as the Yerkes-Dodson Law (which translates into how and why we leave our comfort zones), and we hear some words from Denzel Washington on taking risks and falling forward.
You'll hear some reasons that often keep us in our comfort zone and then some beneficial mindsets that can help you overcome the stresses locking you inside.
